    ROFL. Oh John Wall, you. I'm suprised John Wall doesn't talk about John Wall in 3rd person like John Wall would

    If you are so great and solid with all of these so-called good pieces. How come your team barely wins 40 something games in one of the worst conferences in pro sports. A fairly average team could win 43-50 games in the East, year to year. Talent-wise, your team is easily in the top 5-6 EC teams, annually.

    The Hawks with no stars went to playoffs 9 years in a row and was able to capture #1 seed in 2014-15. You are probably better than any player they had in that stretch.

    Yet, you are supposed to be a superstar, but your team rarely gets past the first round.

    People mock LeBron and KD for being team hoppers. Harden and CP3 not being winners. But, most of those players, if they were in your place as the Wizards superstar would be championship contender.

    Wizards may easily miss the playoffs, this year. Alot of Eastern teams actually improved in the offseason, both playoff and lottery teams. You guys aren't set for anything, except a lottery pick or a first round exit. You guys are not beating Toronto, Boston, or Philadelphia in the first round without some major injury involved on those teams.

    You probably can't beat Indiana. You might, but they were also better, last year.

    Milwaukee and Detroit are all improved, as one team already won more games than you, last year. You barely beat the other team out for that last spot, even they had alot injuries, player turnaround, and were a mess last season.

    Miami is well-coached. No superstars with aging Wade, but they have had more success in the playoffs than you have. They had better record.

    Out in left field is the team Jimmy Butler might land on, which could be an Eastern team. And, if it's an EC team I haven't mentioned, yet. That team probably jumps, ahead you in the standings (or already is).


    Otto is not a superstar, but he's a quintessential SF. He is long, can defend most position, rebounds, shoot 3s, create a little, and stays healthy. He's basically like you, maybe not the playmaker and scorer. But, he does alot at two positions.

    That person you got at center, only does half of that. He's not the scorer, defender, or rebounder, he once was. He still cannot shoot FTs, from perimeter, or has unbeatable post moves. He doesn't defend the pick n' roll. And, might be locker room cancer and hasn't won anything. What will you say to him, when he doesn't perform well. If you criticize him, he can defend himself and say he has taken a team to the NBA championship, before. And, played in pivotal playoff games deep into playoffs.

    Have you ever done that as a superstar?

    Selfishness so early in the season? Maybe they need Dwight out there showing them the right way to play, by example.

    I expected the Wizards to crash and burn this season. They have a weakfish coach. They are led by a "superstar" that isn't really a superstar, knows he isn't a superstar but wants everyone to think he's a superstar.

    For this stuff to erupt in public after only 5 games is a joke. They have no leadership in the locker room from the coach or their best players.

    Time of death for the franchise was when the ink dried on the $207 million contract they gave John Wall. Would have been better if he walked.
